Wait, is there an image of him that shows him on that day? None of the images circulating are said to be of that day; they seem to be just family images that depict his appearance generally.
To Note from article:
•Dec 08- TY sent his mother a text w/ a photo of his dog
•Dec 09- TY’s mother hadn’t heard from him; sent him a text and tried calling at 7:30pm
As Robinson waited by the phone, she heard a knock at her door. She opened the door to find Young's girlfriend.
"She said, 'Have you talked to Taylor?'" Robinson tells PEOPLE, adding that Young had mentioned wanting to move his girlfriend into his place earlier that month.
•Dec 09- TY’s girlfriend stated she last heard from him around noon
•Together, Robinson and Young's girlfriend got in the car and drove to where Young's phone was pinged — after first checking to see if he made it to his apartment and just didn't have a moment to check in with his family.
•TY’s phone was located in some bushes near the bank.
•HPD have been following up with Capital One in hopes of getting a copy of any recent transactions Young may have made that can provide insight on his disappearance.
Very likely, given what society has advanced to. I live in Memphis, TN and something like this would've come as no surprise in my neck of the woods. Numerous crimes, including robbery and murder have taken place here in broad daylight right under law enforcement's noses.I wonder what the chances of being robbed at a Drive-thru ATM in the middle of the day are?
Seems an unlikely one to try from the point of view of the perpetrator. But, anything is possible.
His phone being found outside the car indicates he left his vehicle at some point, OR threw his phone out at took off.
Either way, it doesn't sound good.
His poor Momma!
Is there proof that he actually used the ATM and not just drove through it?
According to TY's friends and family, Capital One is refusing to release TY's transaction history and the video footage to LE. Which has resulted in an online campaign to inundate Capital One with phone calls and negative reviews of the S. Voss branch accompanied with requests that they release the footage.
Of course there's always the chance that LE has gotten the footage and are just keeping that close to the vest.

This is what I am waiting to find out also. They said that his car "passed through" the ATM lines and I've never seen anything in MSM stating he stopped or withdrew money there. We don't even know if that was him driving.
Some serious accusations and finger pointing all over that page. I just wonder if there's any merit to it because you'd have to question what kind of relationship did they have if she's setting her boyfriend up to be abducted and harmed. And once again, where's the freakin' car?

If it's scenario number two then I'm amazed at how effective they have been at wiping away all traces of TY so far, starting from broad daylight no less. It reminds me of a professional hit man. The type of criminal(s) who's skilled at eliminating their victim and anything that's connected to them.Nice summary of the article @mlhenn. And I'd like to add your "to Note" summary from up thread:
•he works on City West Blvd. in West Houston
•last seen at work around noon
•his car was captured on surveillance video around 12:10 p.m. near the Capitol One Bank at the corner of South Voss Rd. and San Felipe St., which is roughly 15 minutes east of Taylour's workplace.
•Footage of his car was captured by Kroger surveillance cameras in the area.
• LE is working to obtain more surveillance footage from nearby businesses, including the Capitol One branch.
•his phone was recovered from the bushes behind the bank
Other than the fact his car was a silver 2019 Honda Civic with black details including a black trunk lid and specialty black rims and he was wearing a trendy and rather expensive billionaires boys club sweatshirt, this is the extent of the information that has been released to the public. That said, what are the possible scenarios to explain his disappearances. Here is my list:
1. A random carjacking with the carjacker forcing TY to drive to the Capitol One Bank and use his ATM card to withdraw cash. The carjacker then either grabbed TY's phone and threw it out the window or forced TY to throw it from the vehicle so that their subsequent movements could not be traced. The one problem I have with this scenario is that random carjackers usually release their victims and their vehicle is usually recovered in another part of town.
2. This was a targeted carjacking and abduction that ended in TY's demise. Someone in TY's orbit may have noticed his success and abducted him for the ATM money, his car and his sweatshirt. Or someone from his past (high school?) who was not as successful was jealous of TY and took his anger out on him. I believe such a targeted abduction is more likely to have ended badly for TY and that why he and his vehicle has not been found.
3. I find the other scenarios that have been floated on this thread, e.g. that he planned his own disappearance or that he had an off road accident to be far less likely.
Feel free to agree or disagree or TLDR This all JMO and MOO

This is why I posted earlier wondering if the girlfriend had a stalker. She had just moved in with him less than 3 weeks prior. He had a nail in his tire that day.
I also mentioned in my earlier post that my son had an ex-girlfriend who had to move out of state to escape. Her stalker was targeting my son and me! He had installed clone software on her phone and knew her every move and in/out phone message and was terrorizing all of us. These stalkers can get quite sophisticated with their surveillance.
This young man is well educated and from FB appearances, has good friends living good lives. I find it hard to believe he would chose a shady girlfriend to be in his life. It appears she and her friends are college students and are really taking some vicious FB thrashings. Whatever happened is coming from outside their inner circle IMHO.
Find the car and sadly they’ll find this promising young man.
